Abstract:Electrospray deposition (ESD) is a versatile micro/nano coating technology that utilizes the competition between surface charge of a droplet and its surface tension to create monodisperse generations of micro/nano droplets. ESD can deposit uniform thin films by including dilute solutes in these droplets. One mode of ESD, self-limiting electrospray deposition (SLED), has been shown to exist when glassy polymers are sprayed in a volatile solvent below the polymer glass transition temperature (Tg). This leads to … Show more
“…In addition, the spray of insulating polymers produces thicknesslimited films in which the charge accumulation repels incoming spray droplets. 4,11,12 This self-limiting behavior enables the conformal coating of complex 3D surfaces. 13 Recent work from our group has shown that methylcellulose (MC) forms a selflimiting coating with a unique nanowire architecture when processed by ESD from water : ethanol solutions.…”
Electrospray deposition (ESD) has shown great promise for manufacturing micro- and nanostructured coatings at scale on versatile substrates with complex geometries. ESD exhibits a broad spectrum of morphologies depending upon...
